Draft:Maximal Extractable Value

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), previously known as Miner Extractable Value, is a concept within the field of blockchain and cryptocurrency that refers to the measure of the profit a miner (or validator) can make through their ability to arbitrarily include, exclude, or reorder transactions within the blocks they produce..[1][2][3][4]. The term was first coined by the researchers Phil Daian, Steven Goldfeder, Tyler Kell, Yunqi Li, Xueyuan Zhao, Iddo Bentov, and Ari Juels in their paper titled "Flash Boys 2.0"[5].

Researchers have pointed out that the market forces of MEV may present a risk to Proof of stake consensus mechanisms[5][6], while some have pointed out that this extraction of value may resemble market manipulation[7]
